This week behind the paywall: an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW! You’ve heard the endless postmortems on the Bernie campaign, but you’ve never heard this tale of wildcat labor action inside the the Iowa effort itself. Listen now for the as yet untold story of how Cassidy and her (radical) ilk brought down America’s one chance at socialism with their selfish demands for the observance of their (union) contract, and their basic dignity.

TONIGHT! EXCLUSIVE! Ryan Grim looks like ground beef in a latex balloon! Is this the result of taking the boss’s side against workers? Of parroting classic union-busting language? Of talking out of your ass and wildly misrepresenting campaign worker’s struggles?

Find out!

Check out exactly that first ever, exclusive reporting in this episode newly liberated from the value: “When Cassidy Went Down to Iowa”
